HAMDEN, Conn. — The No. 5 Quinnipiac men's ice hockey program kept its unbeaten run in ECAC play going on Saturday night, defeating Princeton 3-1 at the Hobey Baker Rink to improve to 9-0-1 in conference play. The Bobcats are now 15-4-2 overall.
The game was scoreless for the first 36 minutes and change, but Collin Graf would change that, scoring the first of his two goals on the night to give the visitors an advantage heading into the final 20.
Graf started the scoring in the second, picking up a loose puck in front of the net and backhanding it home to double the Bobcats' lead and send them off to the races.
Christophe Fillion would finish the scoring, deflecting home a point shot from Cooper Moore to add Quinnipiac's second power play goal of the night.
Princeton scored one late, taking advantage of a 6-on-3 advantage with their net empty.
STATS AND NOTES
The Bobcats continue their road swing next weekend, taking on Colgate and Cornell on Jan. 19 and 20. Both games are slated for 7 p.m., puck drops.
